Chris Evans' appearance as Steve Rogers in the latest Avengers: Doomsday trailer has Marvel fans excited. However, it's not Captain America's actions that are the main topic of conversation, but rather the 45-year-old actor's facial transformation.
Chris Evans makes a brief appearance at the end of the trailer, marking Steve Rogers' return after his "retirement" in Avengers: Endgame (2019). What should have been a surprise moment instead sparked a flood of speculation on social media.
Many viewers expressed surprise at Evans's appearance, now with a beard, longer hair, and a receding hairline. Some netizens even noted that his cheeks looked fuller, while the tip of his nose looked different than usual.
Many immediately suspected the actor had undergone cosmetic procedures such as Botox, fillers, or even a nose job. "It's not just a matter of age, her face has really changed," wrote one netizen on X. Other commenters even believe the change is due to cheek fillers. However, not all fans agree with this allegation.
Some believe Evans' facial changes are simply due to the trailer's lighting, the angle of the shot, and his longer hairstyle. "I think the long hair makes her face look fuller. The lighting in the trailer also makes the tip of her nose look more downturned," wrote one fan.
Others shared a video of Chris Evans promoting the film with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth a few days earlier. In the video, he appeared remarkably similar to the one the public has always known.
Additionally, some fans believe that Evans' facial changes may be due to his weight gain after no longer maintaining the athletic physique he had when playing Captain America. On the other hand, a more interesting theory has emerged.
Some fans suspect the different appearance was intentionally created for the plot of Avengers: Doomsday. They believe Marvel applied prosthetics or special makeup effects to ensure Steve Rogers's appearance fits the film's plot.
This theory is considered plausible. In Avengers: Endgame, Steve Rogers is shown traveling back in time and aging alongside Peggy Carter. Marvel also used prosthetics to depict Steve's aging appearance.
However, Marvel Studios is still keeping the version of Steve Rogers that will appear in Avengers: Doomsday a secret. It's unknown whether he's an aged Steve, a variant from another universe, or a character with a different background.
